PR Card Renewal - Work Commuter to the US

[ThePRguy]

Hello Experts,

I am going to apply for PR Card renewal. It is expiring in couple of weeks. I live with my wife in Ontario, Canada but I travel 2-3 days in a week to work in the US via a private vehicle. I have total 765 days of physical presence in Canada. However, I have about 150 entry/exit records. I have an excel sheet where I maintain all entry exit records. There are several days where I went and came back on the same day. I have following questions:

1. Do I have to enter all entry/exits records in the online PR renewal application?
2. Can such a case attract extra more scrutiny?
3. I have a US driver's license as I drive a lot in the US and never got around getting a Canadian one. Can that pose a problem? However, I have OHIP card as I live in Ontario.
4. Does anybody has experience renewing PR card with so many entries/exits. If yes, can somebody comment what things to be careful about in general?
5. I have two notice of assessments (as of today) , utility bills (of my house) and bank statements. Will those be OK?

Thanking in advance for your input.

1. Yrs you have to include all entry/exits..
2. Yes
3. This is probably means you are driving illegally in Canada and that your car insurance may not actually be valid. Have you informed your US carrier that you live in Ontario? You need to deal this for pure liability reasons.
4. Should be fine.
